McCann Presents Donation to Schuylkill Alliance for Healthcare

Pottsville, PA (7/22/2015) – Shannon Brennan, Campus Director for the Pottsville Campus of McCann School of Business & Technology presented a check for $260 to Judith Schweich, Executive Director for the Schuylkill Alliance for Healthcare.

 The check represents proceeds from a Spa Night Event hosted by the Spa at McCann on Wednesday, June 17th. The event, which took place at the new Woodglen Road location, was attended by approximately fifty people, who all paid $5 per mini spa service. According Spa Coordiantor, Erica Boyer, “This annual event is a great way for the public to experience the benefits of massage and spa services at a very reasonable rate while contributing to a great organization.” McCann selects a different non-profit organization each year to be the recipient of funds from the annual event.

To date, the Schuylkill Alliance has provided over $10 million in healthcare services and medicines to
